#70538 - 2002-10-03 05:18 PM Legal Notice Registry Edits
Anonymous Anonymous Unregistered	I have to edit the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software hive in the registry to add two values. What is the easiest way to do this with Kixtart? Please know in advance that I am not a programmer. A small example would help greatly. They are 1. KEY - \Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Winlogon NAME - LegalNoticeCaption TYPE - REG_SZ VALUE - LEGAL NOTICE 2. KEY - \Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Winlogon NAME - LegalNoticeText TYPE - REG_SZ VALUE - Authorized Access Only Thank you very much

well, I simply write it for you:

code:

$nul=writevalue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Winlogon","LegalNoticeCaption","LEGAL NOTICE","REG_SZ")
$nul=writevalue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Winlogon","LegalNoticeText","Authorized Access Only","REG_SZ")

Also, please search the KiXtart BBS for example scripts implementing 'LegalNoticeCaption' by searching for it. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Can KiXForms integrate a JPG/GIF/PNG as a background? _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	The legal notice is indeed annoying, and the only reason to have it there would be to have legal recourse against somebody who logs in without being authorized to do so. By clicking on it he accepts responsibility for his actions. I have my new user sign an internal account application form that states that they have read and understood our University's Computing Ethics policy. The policy is available online and as a print-out for them. Thus, in case of problems, I just have to say 'According to Section x of the Computing Ethics Policy, which, by the way, you acknowledged in writing to have read and understood, you did ...". _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.
